Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rachel Orde Wingate (ca. 1901 - 11 June 1953) was an English linguist and missionary to Chinese Turkistan. She served with the Swedish Missionary Society. Wingate was the eldest daughter of Colonel George Wingate, the founder of the Central Asia Mission. Her brother, Brigadier General Orde Wingate, led the Burmese Chindits during World War II, his memorial stands in Charlton Cemetery, South East London. Many in the family were active members of the Open Brethren. Wingate studied Arabic, Persian and History at Cambridge University where she obtained her degree in Arabic and History. She joined the mission in 1924 as a voluntary worker. At times, especially in the early years, there has been some friction between the missionaries in the field, but the disagreements seemed to be more or less over in the 1920''s.Orde Wingate, Chindits
